Description
Summary:	For several years, academic performance has become a variable of special interest in scientific research at the international and national level, based on premises that show a low level of performance by the student community in scenarios such as higher education institutions. This has led to a deeper investigation of those components that significantly permeate the achievement of an optimal performance at the qualitative level of future professionals. That is why this research sought to determine the relationship between executive functions and IQ with academic performance in scholarship students of the Universidad de la Costa in the city of Barranquilla. To achieve this, research was conducted under the positivist paradigm with a correlational scope, with a sample of 60 students of scholarship talent and option, corresponding to different academic programs and semesters. The results showed that the correlations obtained between these variables were not significant, suggesting that IQ and executive functions do not have a direct correlation with academic performance in the selected sample of university students. However, when analyzing the correlations for each categorical variable of IQ and executive functions individually with the academic performance, a moderate positive correlation was found between variables associated with executive functions such as attention and memory capacity with the academic performance. Similarly, a positive correlation was found between the retention of digits in order and the academic performance. Additionally, a negative correlation was found between the variable associated with non-verbal IQ and the academic performance.
